ADHD did not cause him to shoot his teacher. He should not have had access to the weapon.
100%!
He has a history of battering other children, he should not have been placed in a school setting to begin with. One teacher with 30 kids and one of them with a violent history is not a safe environment.
@@eckankar7756 what's crazy is that there are laws in place that allows this child to be in the classroom even though he was a danger to the rest of the class.
And it’s not an impulsive action either it would by nature be premeditated
Grasping for an excuse.
As a retired educator, it is typical for parents to minimize or make excuses for their out of control children. This parent is no exception.
One of my best friends is a social studies teacher and he has 8 million stories about parents making excuses for their children.
So tired of parents making excuses for their kids!! So sick and tire of it! I feel for teachers these days. They have little to no support from parents.
Yep
100%. You observe and asses a child’s behavior before ever even making a referral or mentioning it out loud. And here come the parents just as terrible as the kid…. Like…. Yep….. bad parents typically equal just as bad kids. At this age, he’s a product of his environment and I believe he knew what he was doing the entire time.
My mom was the opposite she amplified them 😭
100% believe the teacher on this one. So many parents these days do not want their children to take responsiblity or consequences for their choices.
She wants people to know "she's a good mom"???? I have no words. She's so nonchalant about everything. 🤦🏼♀️
Exactly. No question where he got this behavior.
Juneteenth
She cant help she’s nonchalant 🤷🏽♀️ i have this bad. Its in me
How many sons does Obama have?@@OddWoz
@@britgaddisSucks to be you.
The mom and her attorney did themselves no favors by doing this interview. The kid had a history of violent behavior and his home life was unstable, and the mom is liable by not locking up her gun. If it was locked up then how did he get it? 🙄 They are also victim blaming. The school district is trash as well for not backing the teacher. Teachers do not sign up for this job to be assaulted and shot.
She did a favour to herself she got paid MILLIONS for this interview
Notice the "Father" was a no show.
Sue the tax payers and ban pitbulls because your parents were paid to breed
@@ricksaunders3889possibly because he's not in the child's life.
As an American teacher, that's what you sign up for
"The lack of accountability" from the mother is astounding.
Looking for sympathy will get this mother and father nowhere. No remorse whatsoever is just unbelievable 😢
It’s a cultural problem for them. Why else would Black people be 35%-40% of the violent crime, despite only making up 13% of the population.
@@rollinsdet8229
I think it was the father.
@@lynnify6 no there was not a Father there nor has he been mentioned
our culture is full of "lack of accountability" ..in fact it's off the charts. Look at the Democratic party and the News media.
The fact that the child supposedly doesn’t talk about the shooting is a huge “red flag” about the child and the people around him. There’s no accountability and the child is at risk of doing the same thing again, or worse😕
The mom defending the cell incident as an accident says it all.
EXACTLY!!!!!!
It sure does. She really needs to charged further for this and her continued neglect. Very likely she is in no shape to raise or care for any child…. As we can tell. Especially one that she’s already crippled with emotional and anger control issues and sprinkled with disgusting language and shit attitude for “good measure”.
So the mother is excusing her son’s behavior because he said he was ignored? He tried to kill his teacher! She should not be raising a child. I hope she gets the max sentence.
she did not excuse the behavior. she described why the child was mad at the teacher.
i agree throw away the key she is no parent and the lawyer need to get some dental work done before he opens his mouth
@Carrie Dye I read she doesn’t even have custody and he’s being raised by the grandfather who’s the guy sitting next to her.
Where is the father?
Who cares where the father is she was the parent who was there when this happened, that teacher knows more about his behavior then the public i don't think we're getting the whole story from both sides
STOP USING YOUR CHILDS DISABILITY AS AN EXCUSE FOR YOUR LACK OF PARENTING!! I can't have sympathy for parents that do this. No accountability. Glad she is facing charges!!
Quit using lack of parenting as an excuse for gun violence guns serve one purpose to kill
Totally agree
Since when did ADHD cause 6 year olds to shoot teachers? It’s not adding up.
Sue the tax payers and ban pitbulls because your parents were paid to breed
Exactly! The teacher is lucky to be alive.
This woman is so out of touch with reality it’s sick. She needs to be kept away from her son because she’s already raised a monster. “Im sorry the teacher got hurt…” uhh no, she was almost killed by your 6 year old and YOUR handgun… accountability please!
I’m a Virginia resident with friends in education who knew the teacher victim. This mom is a bold ass liar. That boy threw the phone to the ground and broke it. The teacher begged for help because this child was so disruptive and disturbed. Parents like this are the reason ppl are leaving the profession in droves!! Your kid literally attempted murder at SIX w/ your unsecured weapon and you want to make excuses for that?? Throw her under the jail.
As a special education teacher I can assure you that there is more going on with this kid than ADHD. Also the attorney saying that the school enrolled him knowing of his past behavior, the school has NO CHOICE! They are a public school and under federal law each child is entitled to a free appropriate public education (FERPA). This mother is minimizing his actions by calling the shooting, an attempted murder of a teacher, an 'incident'. Unbelievable!!! I don't believe for one second that he just knocked the phone off of the teacher's desk. I believe he grabbed it and slammed it on the ground because the teacher wasn't catering to his whims. Just ADHD my foot! This kids sounds like he has ODD, and possibly RAD.
Or maybe he’s just a psychopath
@@kris78787 💯💯💯
Exactly!!!
FAPE, not FERPA
But are you this child’s educator? You’re not so don’t assume with your history on someone you never interacted with.
My late wife was a special education teacher from about 1972 through 1986, teaching reading to middle school children with low IQs. A child, large for his age, threated to kill her. The parents were brought in for a meeting about their child's behavior. They sided with their child saying he wasn't learning anything, and it was my wife's fault. They started to become violent at which point the shool board's lawyer, and the teacher's union lawyer said the meeting was over. She started having severe migraines and panic attacks at this point, and had to retire. I hired a lawyer, and we were able to have her retire with full health benefits and a pension. NO teacher should have to deal with this sort of behavior.
Good for you for sticking up for your wife.
Wow that's sad. I hope she's doing better since leaving all that daily stress. You could not pay me enough to be a teacher in this day and age!!
So sad
It's starts at home , some parents think the school is a daycare and are just as violent and barbaric as the students , looking to blame anyone except the man in the mirror , ur kid has a major problem possibly dangerous a walking menace to society , but as long as u get that ssi and EBTand government housing off the kid , they don't care , keep it real let's go ,
Yet we all do
If my baby hurt someone,my first statement would be an apology to the victim,school ect and I wouldn’t be able to get through it w/o tears coming down my face 😢
Same
The mom doesn’t seem remorseful she’s trying hard not to snap get loud and look professional as much as we know she’s not. One day he’s going to do something that she can’t get him out of b he can’t get him out of
Right? Very clear where this behavior comes from…. Her. She should not be allowed to emotionally and socially cripple this child any longer. With any luck and some _basic_ parenting/care, he might actually be able to turn into a decent kid. But def not if he’s left with this 🗑️
Do your tears fix the gunshot? No? Then fk your feelings and whoop your kids
This is typical of this demographic no accountability.
How is she even allowed to retain custody of the child? You can't be half of a decent mother if a child that young has access to your loaded weapons. At any point he could have accidentally shot himself instead. How pathetic of a person or a parent can you possibly be.😮
She doesn’t have custody of him anymore. They said the grandfather now does.
She’s not taking accountability of her son’s actions or her own. Her son accidentally threw his hands up and the phone fell? Using ADHD as an excuse to be violent…it shows the mother is definitely in the wrong and didn’t secure the gun nor really takes any accountability for it
Exactly! It’s completely crazy that she is deflecting from this.
These people never take accountability, if anything they play the victim.
Exactly!
It’s like I know my dog has a history of biting people. I still let him roaming freely in the street.
I agree, I don't buy her version of the phone incident.
Oh please. He has a disability and I understand that but how in the world did the gun get from his home to school?? His family should be held accountable. Period.
Imagine killing her , why didn’t they secure the gun .
Exactly. The presence of a disability is of no relevance. 💯
She is showing zero remorse and is taking zero responsibility.
I am sure that parent and she’s not a bad mom and as much as I hated the kid at first, and I said all kinds of horrible stuff
I honestly thought it was just a kid who really liked the idea of getting people to listen to him through violence and that
So that’s why I said all that stuff in the past. And now I know the truth
He obviously loves his teacher, and by his mother he is s nice kid who just wanted a voice and was trying to use his voice if he wasn’t trained fairly
And used voilemce when people didn’t tread him fairly he probably felt he had to do something to be heard
I can totally understand that,
Gotta love how the mom wasn’t there and seems to feel like her son accidentally threw his hands up in exasperation and accidentally knocked the cell phone out of her hand. The teacher said he took the phone and slammed it down breaking it. The mom wasn’t there so she’s taking her son’s side of the story. Let remind the mom your 6 year old tried to murder his teacher.
If your child is so screwed that you have to accompany him to class daily then he should obviously be in a special program or better yet homeschooled and should not be left unsupervised at any point whatsoever. She needs to sue the hell out of them and that child should have been removed from their custody because they obviously are not doing what it takes to discipline or supervise him😮
That phone story made my eyes roll out of my head. I work with so many parents who believe everything single word out of their child’s mouth from the time they are 4 years olds and defend it to the death. It’s embarrassing and exhausting for teachers.
Im a kindergarten teacher and you speak right out of my heart - even 3 year olds are believed in every word they tell their parents! The adults NEVER doubt anything they say, even when you can tell why they are lying... I just dont understand why adults are trusting little kids that obviously dont want to get in trouble!
Indeed
@@winonalovers I was working as a kindergarten teacher for two years before I became a special ed teacher and a speech therapist, and that is absolutely true! I don’t blame kids, but some parents are just soo defensive for no reason 🤦🏻♀️ long story short I got blamed for something I didn’t do, it all ended well, but I didn’t get an apology lol whatever 🥲 and then there was this family gathering and I was telling this story and to illustrate that kids will say anything if you manipulate them into it, I asked my little sister (two or three years old at the time) in a really sweet and empathetic voice if her parents ever hit her and she said yes, which is absolutely not true! 😂 I don’t know, maybe I was wrong for doing that, but I know my sister, she’s a happy kid, she’s not traumatized or anything 😊 but the family was shocked, that illustrates that types of parents perfectly, they are going to find trouble where it doesn’t exist and worst of all they’re going to put their kids through all that unnecessary drama and stress too 🤦🏻♀️ I love kids, but I work in IT now, I miss them, but I sure as hell don’t miss some of the parents 😂 also the whole education system (but especially kindergarten) is terrible in my country 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly. He said fine and intentionally knocked that phone out of her hand. I knew that before the teacher’s statement.
My mom was a teacher & when I was in elementary school I got in trouble for something I didn't do. My teacher contacted my mom & apologized b/c she realized she made a mistake. & my mom said its okay. She probably got away with something last week. & low-key she was right. I wish more parents would be more level headed when it comes to how their child acts at school. Your kids are not perfect, neither are teachers. & that's okay.
It's almost like she's attempting to make excuses for her son by talking about how the teacher was ignoring him and him getting suspended, as if that somehow justifies what he did.
That's what I got from this interview; that shouldn't have happened.
exactly I understand he needs attention but she has other students who need her attention as well, I'm not trying to be cruel or be biased because my son is a teacher but maybe he should have been home schooled, again I will also factor in the medication, they are not safe
Sickening
You can't just ignore the child's feelings here. The way he felt is the reason he did it. It wasn't right but knowing the reason he did it matters.
i didnt get that feeling. its assumed that her child was enraged at the teacher and she just explained that that wasnt the case. if a kid is sad that their teacher is ignoring them, would u automatically assume hes going to shoot her the next day? i think most people wouldnt jump to that conclusion.
Rabid animals need to be treated as such
Being a good mom involves more than caring about your child
No wonder this kid has no knowledge of what accountability looks like, he's learning it first-hand from his mother.
yes, indeed. Deny responsibility. deny accountability just like mom
Spidey EXACTLY!!!!!!
The schools do the same thing. Bullying is okay but protecting yourself is wrong. Yes, this woman should be held accountable for her child's actions. Along with whoever didn't take the teacher and others seriously who reported this kid had a gun. No one took it seriously. Hold everyone accountable.
My son was bullied at school and reported it nothing happened. Thank goodness my son is comfortable talking to me I had to take off from work to make sure my child was heard. Once I allowed my son to beat that kid's ass things changed.
I couldn't watch the full interview it made me mad,her trying to shift the blame🤬
Wow. Leave it to the Lawyer to say "Whether that was true or not, the school enrolled him KNOWING all of his past behaviors." These are still YOUR KIDS you are sending to a PUBLIC place with other kids. Disgusting. That is why teachers are leaving the profession. A LOT of finger pointing, but its the teachers who get hurt.
😒 Even worse him sayin’ the teacher’s law suit should be thrown out of court ‘cos her injuries is worker’s compensation 😑
Basically it’s the school’s fault for trying to sympathize and help her bad ass kid 😂😂
They knowingly enrolled him because the law states they MUST!! There is NO real protection for teachers anymore!! This is a very disturbing and sad case. I hope everyone gets the justice, help, and healing they deserve.⚖️🙏🏻💯
@@khatzeye Exactlty. People really have embraced the "Say it and mean it, and it's true and logical" press tactic from politicians.
FAPE. It’s literally an act of Congress. The school has to enroll him, collect data, and make a case for him to go to a different school that has the resources for a child with these kinds of needs. The first line is to put him where everyone knows his needs will not be appropriately or adequately met before shelling out money for a specific school that can. It’s hoops that the government makes schools do in a specific order. There is more red tape than meets the eye.
I went to school with my 6 yr old. There was a boy that had ADHD and with the med shortage, i felt so bad for him and the teacher who i saw loosing her cool with him. It was hard to listen to EvErYtHiNg he had to say all the time. He had no filter and there was a need in him to be seen and heard. Good kid, tough situation. The gun should have never been in any way accessable to him... with that, i blame mom
What is more frightening is these parents are tasked with raising what seems like a sociopath. And things aren’t going so great. Yikes!
POINTLESS INTERVIEW! She sounds so carefree that her child did this. That sweet teacher who just really started her teaching career will never be the same 😢. In that moment she was so strong to tell the other kids to run for safety.
Yup!!
It's crazy how nonchalant and remorseless she is. It might explain her sons behavior, it's taught and it seems he's probably never held accountable for his actions. She just uses his behavioral issues and ADHD as an excuse. This is sad, she seems emotionless and out of touch to me.
medicated?
@@lynnhubbard844yeah this was him allegedly medicated… maybe he didn’t take his medicine that day, but if this was his choice of action while medicated, I would hate to see what would’ve happened unmediated…
He’s being raised by the grandfather. His mother doesn’t have custody which tells us everything we need to know. 🤦♂️
@@ryanblanchard2508 she doesn’t have custody bc the incident and being charge with child neglect. They said that in clip so, it actually makes perfect sense
@lisap6939 Well, if the courts deem you a neglectful parent, the child is automatically temporarily removed from the home fyi.
So sad ….. praying for all🙏🏾💕😢
ADHD??? Come on, that does not make a 6-year-old want to murder! This kid has SERIOUS mental issues! I really hope that everyone pays close attention to this kid as he grows up, it sounds like he could be capable of another school shooting. I'm glad that the mom is being charged with crimes, she deserves to be!!
I love how this mom is believing her 6 year old over all the adults that were there. This person is delusional.
She's not the only parent/person to do that though.
Most parents do this.
Right, and the Grandfather either. He probably don't need to be with any of them smh!!!
Instincts of a mother , being a man u gotta get out of your logical thinking when trying to figure out how her brain works.
Lol well, he's awwww nevermind
The bottom line here is that a six-year-old had access to a gun. Everything else is irrelevant. A six-year-old child had access to a gun. The parents are definitely accountable.(edit) and is it just me or is that attorney creepy AF?
What the hell did I watch man and I just knew before watching the interview they were going to tried to make the perfect excuse why her son tried to kill his teacher ! 😮💨🇺🇸🇮🇹🇲🇽
No, it's not you - he's creepy. I would have continued on my hunt for an attorney after meeting with him.
@@loveblue2 she cannot afford one--he was appointed for her by your tax $$$$
Not even just a gun. A loaded gun. Responsible gun owners do not store their guns loaded and a six year old should not know how to load a gun and remove the safety.
Thank you!
Here's an update (September 2023): Deja Taylor, the mom (seen in this video) of the 6 year old who shot his teacher, is out on bond but has failed multiple drug tests, which are a condition of her freedom. She has tested positive for cocaine and marijuana. She has also missed two drug tests and two drug classes. Deja has pleaded guilty to using marijuana while in the possession of a firearm and prosecutors are asking for a sentence of 18 to 24 months. She is also facing sentencing for child neglect (felony) and reckless storage of a firearm (misdemeanor). Prosecutors have agreed to drop the reckless storage of a firearm charge and she will be given a sentence of no more than 6 months for the neglect charge. The teacher who was shot is suing the school system for $40 million, as they had been previously warned the child may have a gun on him but did not remove the child from the classroom.
just checked online - the judge refused to jail her for failing her drug tests meaning she is free until sentencing on 18 Oct. makes you wonder what judges think is grievous enough to jail someone, apparently having a loaded gun while under the influence of drugs isn't bad enough. Oh well!
The mom is accusing the teacher for her son's action? Seriously?
This is an excuse from the family cause my son has severe ADHD and fought teachers too but never brought a gun to school. This is crap from the kids family
Where did he get gun
@@youngdegenerate1002she left the gun unsecured and her child got a hold of it and took it to school.
he fought teachers??? yikes!
That woman should be counting her lucky stars that the teacher didn’t die because if she would’ve the mother would’ve probably faced lengthy prison time say 30 to 40 years
I’m not a doctor, but based on the random acts of violence and him not talking about the incident, it sounds like DID
I have so many thoughts. The child told his mom that the phone incident was an accident but the teacher says he threw it. Often times teachers get chewed up by parents because children aren't being completely honest when they get in trouble.
It's also insane that a regular ed classroom has to keep children that are dangerous in the classroom because they have legal rights to be there. My question is, what about the rights to safety for the rest of the class that is trying to get and education.
Sadly those children have no rights. The ones with the disabilities/behaviors have ALL the rights.
Preach. It won't change until parents start suing school districts for putting their children in harms way.
Public school is a risk at this point for both the teachers and the students. The school board is siding with the child and doesn’t even need to change schools.
Sure it wasn't the teacher I mean I have Heard the whole thing started when the kid ask her something n told him to sit down that was kinda rude mind me asking plus gotten him in trouble for an accident the nerves
@@melodymsizemore4741 Yep. Our federal education laws are written to that Special education really is "special", i.e. they have more rights than those without sped.
I can't believe that the boy shot his teacher in the hand and had ADHD to cause that problem and the mother is charged for child neglect
She’s in denial because to acknowledge what her child has done, speaks to her incompetence as a parent.
That school doesn’t care about its teachers at all. I hope that teacher gets everything in her lawsuit.
“She wants people to know she’s a good mom.” What a selfish thing to be concerned about in this situation.
Speaking as an educator, this is a frequent occurrence actually. So many parents out there are constantly "reassuring" teachers that the parents' kids are "good kids", "smart kids", "happy kids", "advanced kids", "enthusiastic kids", "interested kids", etc. with no real proof in the pudding. It's all corporate cr*p coming out of their mouths solely in an effort to get their kids well educated before it's too late. All these parents are trying to do is save both their and their children's behinds because they know deep down that there are extreme issues to iron out, but they themselves don't want anything to do with them because they feel helpless and overall unable to tackle them the way they are supposed to as their children's legal guardians. It's an excuse-filled generation of parents that the world has been forced to deal with for decades now. And narcissism is the backbone of it all.
That was my 1st thought too when I heard that!!!!
Seriously
This mom is full of 💩 and excuses. How does she know his teacher was actually ignoring him? To be fair, Mom you were ignoring the signs that your child was deeply troubled enough that you should not have a firearm in the home. I wish the teacher a full recovery
From the 6 year olds perspective she was ignoring him but that'show he'sfeeling. They should be explainingthedifferencebetween how things make you feel vs. Actual motive. Mom should have spent more time explaining to the kid how the world works and standing up for the teacher.
She's and her freak are just n's
@@George-zd6rb hide the sheets we are in public
@@michaelmaps2004 at least you don't hide your racism! Thank you!
@bug marmalade you, will the hard way!
As an educator this is attempted murder.
This was hurtful. I'm thankful the teacher survived
My daughter got into trouble in school when she was a first grader. It was so bad that she almost got suspended. I sat her down, had a long talk with her and she got grounded. She’s now in 5th grade with excellent grades and a great kid. Discipline your kids! Don’t make excuses or overlook things. Things will only get worse when we overlook them not to deal with the issues. Parenting is not an easy job, but there’s no excuses
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Your kid was just being bad. This kid has behavioral mental issues that requires medication. It's not the same. He's a killer.
I HOPE SHE SUES THE MOMMY
YAY😅😅
@@ariamason9324 there’s a lot of kids with mental issues. That doesn’t mean they’re going to go out and kill. You don’t hear little kids killing teachers or people often or everyday. I’m sure kids with mental issues have parents who discipline them and give them their meds. So this kid having mental issues shouldn’t be different if the mother would have done her job correctly
When you have a child with a history of violent behavior & who has a mental disorder...you don't keep A gun in the house, especially unsecured!
That the child has anger issues to the point he would knowingly take the gun to school to do harm & knew how to shoot it speaks volumes.
Bingo
I know they aren’t trying to claim that because they weren’t there that he just pulled a gun out and shot her. She’s trying to say that because he had adhd, he was summoned to shoot his teacher?! STOP USING ADHD AND OCD AS REASONS FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER.
This is so tragic for all involved 😢
Getting shot by a student and it being considered workers comp is insane.
if it was only the hand it would fall under it judging by the damage dealth
Especially after the school was repeatedly alerted to the presence of the firearm and did nothing.
Lol I know I was like wtf?? Like it's the military or police work
These parents are so enraging to listen to, so blatantly lying. The story about the cell phone is just so absurdly stupid. I hope she gets a lengthy prison sentence.
This is what happens with those people. I really hope that the teacher files a lawsuit against the worthless weed smoking mother too. It sounds like the kid belongs in Jail.
Minimizing a woman's potential gun death by calling it an "incident" is the opposite of taking responsibility.
This makes the family look bad. They are minimizing something horrible.
I'd be so ashamed and apologetic if that were my child!
I certainly wouldn't be on TV telling people that I'm a good mother when actions speak louder than words!
I am a Child and Youth worker. I was sent to a classroom to manage the behavior of a junior high student. When i was holding him accountable, he said to me, “I have ADHD, i can’t help my behaviors.” SMH. That was also his mother’s excuse for his obnoxious behaviors in class.
And why I am not surprised... Parents not being accountable.
How a 6 year old could do this... If family isn't violent and abusive, there is no other way the kid learnt that.. PUTTING BLAME ON VICTIM... WOW...
TV maybe?
Culture
That's crazy how the mother tried to sugar coat the smacking the cellphone incident. That's the problem right there with these parents.
I think this kid was misdiagnosed. He's a psychopath or a sociopath who has no empathy for his behavior. My son has ADHD and does not act like this. There is more to the story that we aren't being told.
There are so many wonderful people who are so deserving for the blessing of parenthood and sadly this young lady is not one of them. God bless that poor teacher.
This interview should have NEVER happened. Mom and grandpa are passive, the lawyer plays stupid, and the school denied the victims claim and told her to get worker's comp. 😠
This is BS they should have kept this to themselves. I have grown up with a brother who has ADHD and he has never wanted to be violent. Thats not an excuse for your child having a gun and shooting his teacher. The more you make excuses the more this kid will believe that he can't be disciplined or touched in life.
I feel the same way. I have relatives with ADHD and the thought of shooting their teachers have never crossed their minds. The only reason she's speaking out is because she's facing charges
There is no hope for that 6 yr old with a parent like this.
Bro did she really just say her son threw his hands in the air while saying “fine” and he accidentally knocked her phone out of the teacher’s hand? This lady is so full of shit, no wonder her 6 year old is a violent little scumbag. Lock her up for the maximum amount allowed
I find it extremely hard to believe that he accidently knocked her phone out of her hand. And how does mom explain him trying to CHOKE A TEACHER? He fell on the teacher and his hands wrapped around the teacher? The more this mom mininizes his behaviors, the more dangerous he will be. And ADHD doesn't cause these behaviors, dont use that as a reason. And btw he DOES NEED TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS. Or this is going to get worse. Dont keep enabling him mom.
This is just gross. She says she’ll take responsibility but continues to make excuses and minimize her sons behavior. A kid wouldn’t get suspended for accidentally knocking a phone out of someone’s hands. He has a long history of violent behavior and I’m not trying to demonize a child, but come on. Mom sounds like an air head saying he calmly tried to talk to her and threw his hands up bc he was annoyed. She just doesn’t seem to understand the severity of his actions. I know we’ve all been wanting to hear the families side, but this interview didn’t help at all.
Hello
No this interview only made things look worse for the family in my opinion. She also looked like she was on some type of medication herself or she has flat affect, speaking with no emotion, showing no remorse for what the teacher is going through. The school district is just as bad, wanting to dismiss the teacher's lawsuit as if she brought it on herself and they have no responsibility.
its all lip service
Hello
After watching this interview I don't feel one bit bad saying this: The kid is a total lost cause and her miscarriages were a blessing in disguise. This woman does not need any more children that she won't raise anyway.
She said "I'm willing to take responsibility like she got a choice!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I applaud the charges. She was reckless and needs to be held accountable.
So she broke her silence to tell us she is a good mom after all? The audacity. 🙄
ADHD for a child is NOT an excuse to be violent! This mother needs to get REAL! Wake the hell up, lady!
Makes me glad I never had children. His parents should be held accountable for what happened.
The worst part for me is, the school was told , at least twice that day, that he had a gun, and nothing was done.
That's because most school administrators really couldn't care less if teachers die on the job. After all, those same administrators are overpaid and overprotected when it comes to keeping their jobs and their safety intact to boot. A bunch of ignoramuses through and through.
really? he should have been escorted to the office and gun confiscated
This is the comment I was waiting for. That school district is TRASH and I hope the teacher gets every cent owed to her by the lawsuit.
It is her responsibility to know her child is a danger. She should be jailed. Period.
she knows--that's why school policy required her to attend her son's classes
She should have kept that gun put up somewhere, where he couldn't get to it.
The great-grandfather looks like he’s around 65. That’s an issue in itself.

This mother is believing everything thing her son tells her. I doubt he just accidentally knocked the phone out of the teacher's hands. She's claiming he was upset because the teacher was ignoring him, that's the moment you tell the kid she is one person and there's 20 other students in the class. He can not always have her attention.
Right there are prime examples of the entitlement sweeping this nation like a hurricane. Many parents and school administrators believe that kids are always in the right and teachers are always in the wrong. Complete selfishness has consumed the mentalities of many children, and as a result they think the whole world should revolve around them 24/7 or everybody else must prepare to suffer unduly. Parents like this mother would never apologize even if they were paid to do it. And their kids are so out of control that those same parents choose to throw in the towel early on and pray for a miracle. It's stomach churning.
I have ADHD, my brother also has ADHD he is extremely hyperactive and had behavior issues. Not once have either of us shot a teacher, or been violent in anyway. You cannot tell me that ADHD is to blame, even if it was a factor that does not erase the child’s actions and the actions of the parents and family. You are to blame not the disability. I feel for his mom, I do but the end of the day her failure to protect her child from endangering himself and others is on her. Not his ADHD. She is lucky he didn’t kill the teacher or any of his classmates. Or himself.
This kid has more than ADHD going on I'm sure. She looks like she's got flat affect or is on some strong anti-anxiety meds, talking with no emotion, showing no remorse or guilt for what her child did.
Same 🙌🏼 And my twin was always in trouble for his impulsive actions when we were kids. He never took my dad’s gun to school and shot a teacher though. It’s difficult enough to be ADHD in society today without this mom saying this is also just ADHD.
ADHD has nothing to do with shooting a teacher and bringing a gun from school
A serial killer in the making. This won't be the last incident we hear of.
The gun was obviously not secured high enough where the young boy could reach
But he knew how to use it, and it was said on another channel that he Threatened 3 other children in the schoolyard that if they told or him he would KILL THEM???
It’s not a matter of storing the pistol high; rather, it’s more ‘bout storing it in a gun lockbox! Betcha 10:1 Mom stored her pistol under her pillow or mattress due to the high crime neighborhood she lives in! So to her, storing a pistol away in a lockbox is tantamount to not having a loaded weapon at the ready.
This Mom’s lucky the teacher survived her injuries ‘n just plea guilty already!

You have a GOOD POINT right there, my cousin was a Insurance Investergater for All-State and he said he went to the crime scene a lady was sleeping with her GUN 🔫 under her pillow and one night she thought that she heard someone in her home grabbed the gun 🔫 from up under the pillow and blew her brains out MY Cousin said in ALL the years he worked for the company he has NEVER SEEN anything like that BEFORE so glad he is retired NOW!!!
I’m not buying most of what she’s saying.
Or that creepy attorney
@@ladywed2699 The mom can be accountable and put her gun in a place where a 6 to can't reach it. Using ADHD as an excuse.
@@ladywed2699 he was removed from the "care plan" KNOWING the child has violent behavior. The teacher isn't going to be able to give her undivided attention to him and the kid needs to learn and accept that! That's just life whether or not he has adhd and requires ALL the attention! Stop trying to defend her! SHE'S A LIAR! I don't believe for one moment that gun was locked up! Her eyes immediately shifted after she said yes! Straight up LYING! The kid should've been in a separate class or whatever so he could've gotten the help he needed so blame that shit on the school if anything else!
@@ladywed2699 your comments show your true ignorance
All they do is lie
Suspended at 6 years old? He's mentally unstable. He has more than ADHD.
Parent minimizing their child's bad behavior and making excuses. This is why we can't keep good teachers.
Good parents do not send their children to be a problem to others. My now 7yo was having behavioral issues in KG, she was having a hard time communicating and would flip out when she was upset or sad. She would throw things, yell, kick. Her teacher was a GOOD teacher and I felt so bad, she’d be almost in tears when I’d have to go pick her up, she didn’t understand why she couldn’t help her. So this school year I got her into counseling and homeschooled her. She’s been doing much better and she seems ready to go back to in person school next school year (and if she get to acting again, she’ll be right back at home with 🙋🏽♀️).They need to start making these parents keep their kids and deal with it before sending them to be a distraction and a danger to others. There are signs early on, once you notice them ACT ACCORDINGLY so you can save your babies. It’s VERY alarming he shot his teacher and is acting as if it didn’t happen. I hope that child gets REAL help, adhd doesn’t typically cause a child to be angry. Something else is going on and the family will continue to fail this child if they don’t stop the denial and get this child the help he needs!!
Thanks for doing your job and homeschooling your daughter.
It's not fair to your daughter, the other students and the teacher to force her to be in an environment she can't handle.
Good for you!
Good job mom! Parents should keep their child home & work w them if they cannot behave in the school environment.
I feel so sorry for today's public schools. Some of the parents they are forced to deal with are just outrageous and they have so few options.
I'm tempted to believe that this mother actually gave the gun to the kid
Honestly, if you want to show people you’re a good mother - take full responsibility. No minimizing. No blaming. No excuses. Admit you have a child that is out of control. Admit that you don’t know how to parent and you and your child need help.
R.I.P. 💙🙏💙🙏
I was expecting her to be much more apologetic and accept responsibility.
Legally she can't. She's trying to not be held accountable for what happened
That doesn't apply to some parents of today who prefer to block out the realities that their children bring to the table--most of which the parents are to blame for in the first place.
It's what they do look at the community failure's
It was a bad idea to do this interview. They don't seem troubled at all by what the child did. That may not be the case, but optics are everything.
Parents like this couple remain in denial of their child's faults. They know that they have created a monster and refuse to accept their comeuppance. They just want to pray their way out of everything all the time and believe that the world owes them everything simply because they created the new human life to begin with. Who knows? Those very same parents may have disliked their son's teacher to begin with, so they possibly may have had a hand in this whole ordeal up front. They simply won't accept the fact that their child is a mass murderer because that automatically makes them look worse than bad as parents, the reality of which they themselves refuse to accept, ever.
Whew well said, this interview was an insane idea. The fact the lawyer arranged or at least okayed it suggests his concern isn’t his client, but raising his own profile by appearing on national television. Yikes.
@@yayshowvids6427 He's so creepy though lol! Something is wrong with everyone in this incident--mother, lawyer, child, and school district!
All I hear is excuses. Her boy got suspended and she claims it was only because he raised his arms up when saying, "fine" and accidently knocked the teacher's phone.
Yeah lady, suuuuuure.
Knocked the phone out of her hand on accident? Oh mama….. Start by not making excuses.
The lack of accountability is DISGRACEFUL
Hello
How are you and your family doing today
Exactly.
Hello
The mom should face criminal charges
adhd does not make you violent. using this as an excuse is sickening. i myself have adhd and have met so many incredible people with adhd.
ADHD doesn't make them violent, but some of the meds do. My son has it, they put him on Zoloft and his mood swings were darker and at one point he threatened to kill our whole family. I got him off the meds and he improved. He tried 3 different ones and the side effects were worse than what they were treating him for.
I’m disappointed the GMA interviewer didn’t grill her harder. These interviewers are always going soft with problematic people 🙄🙄
It's better going soft with a psychopath then probably triggering them. Just a example.
The media often treats parents overly delicately. All throughout the pandemic, the media has always portrayed parents and students as being the "victims" of learning loss, school closures, teacher strikes, etc. It's as if parents and their offspring are utterly untouchable and nobody, absolutely nobody, can say anything bad about them publicly. That's putting those two parties on way too tall a pedestal. And it only further enables their ever-present entitlement.
@@munimathbypeterfelton6251thanks! It’s like no one can make a comment about these ‘saintly’ parents….
@@SeraFortuna it's the BLM fake movement blame everybody else who cares lock her up
i have adhd and let me tell u, i have NEVER thought about killing anyone. this is just a bad mother.
WORKERS COMP???? I would be beyond pissed if the school ignored multiple warnings and signs and I end up almost losing my life. I hope the teacher wins that lawsuit.
ADHD is NOT an excuse to attempt murder. that woman is a terrible mother and a terrible liar. so is the lawyer. they can't even make eye contact due to their lying. STOP BLAMING THE VICTIM!
It still doesn't explained why your firearm wasn't locked away.
I have ADHD. So does my 4 sisters, 1 brother, and my 7-year-old son. We've never shot someone.
The mother is minimizing this child's behavior. Read the book "Children without a Conscience " scary
He raised his hands and 'accidentally' knocked the teacher's cell phone on the ground? A SIX year old boy!? Don't buy it. I understand parents want to protect their child but this kind of denial is obvious and unfortunate.
And typical, sadly.
